Dear Colleagues Also note that sometimes the fraudsters trick you into giving your password. This message just came into my mail. As you can see, the sender's ID is 'Yahoo! Account Service', but then the e-mail address is 'thewritepr...@sbcglobal.net'. Clearly this originates from another source, but you quickly look at the Yahoo! and fall for it. A few friends have fallen into this trap - maybe Xavi did as well? Happy New Year, and Regards
